Did BDZ compete against people of color? If not, she is knocked down a few notches. Serena is the best, and it happens to be a country club sport.

Is what it is

She's up there, but Babe Didrikson and Jackie Joyner-Kersee were dominate in multiple sports.

Nadia Comaneci, Serena Williams, Mia Hamm, and Bonnie Blair would comprise my next tier.

Serena vs Graf both in their primes Serena would wreck Graf

Only reason Graf is in conversation is because Seles got stabbed Seles owned Graf

Serena has 2 grand slams about 12 years apart

There are not many female athletes at the top of the world that long

I don't even think she is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Martina is the GOAT

This. The fact that Serena has played at such a high level for such a long time speaks volumes. If she can win 2 more Slams to pass Margaret Court, there won't be any doubt that she's the GOAT in Women's tennis. Just an amazing female athlete period.

1932? There were only 27 women in the world allowed to play sports at that time.
